I am trying to get content channels to work in v4.0.2.1 and not having any luck. I have read all postings I can find (see below) but still no success. Can anyone help?
My umbraco setup is using my admin user with:
Start Node in content = a node of type "Blog" Search all children = yes Start node in media = not selected Document=BlogPost datatype Description Field=bodyText Category = none selected Excerpt field = none selected
My livewriter setup
Web address = http://localhost (for testing - is that my issue?) Username = admin Password = adminpasswordhere Type of blog = Metaweblog API Remote posting URL = http://localhost/umbraco/channels/rsd.aspx (also tried wlwmanifest.aspx) Next button yields error...
ERROR:
An error occurred while attempting to connect to your blog:
Invalid Server Resposne - The response to the blogger.getUsersBlogs method from the blog server was invalid:
Invalid response document returned from XmlRpc server
http://www.nibble.be/?p=13 - Tim's blog is great except when I get to "Select Provider". It seems /umbraco/channels.aspx does not exist anymore (in v4+) so I have been trying /umbraco/channels/rsd.aspx and wlwmanifest.aspx with no luck.
By the way, does "Runway and Modules" include blog or should I be posting blog items elsewhere. We could use some more detail on those forum categories to avoid mis-postings.
The /umbraco/channels.aspx does exist - it's a virtual url and that's the one to use. Alternatively add auto discovery in the head element of your template. Click the help button in the template editor and scroll to the bottom of the modal that pops up. There you'll find the two meta tags needed to insert in order to make most blog editors auto-discover all settings :-)
I just tried it out a bit, and as Niels says, the channels page does exist.
However I experienced problems when trying to get the layout into WLW. It tried to send it to http://example.com/example.com/blog which ofcourse gives a 404 page. But I am able to publish content anyway.
Let me know if you also get this problem, or if it is just my setup.
I have gotten the same thing, I have not figured out what is causing the problem although you can go into the registry and fix the url for live writer it is at HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows Live\Writer\Weblogs. You will find a node there for each blog though it uses Guids as the node names, browse through there and you should find a HomepageUrl string value that you can correct.

You must correct this error before proceeding.

Hi James!
The /umbraco/channels.aspx does exist - it's a virtual url and that's the one to use. Alternatively add auto discovery in the head element of your template.

Hope this helps!
